How Do I Change My Relationship Status On Facebook - If you're on Facebook at all, you have actually seen it take place: 2 good friends end their marriage or long-term relationship, Facebook notifies you that [PAL] and [FRIEND] are "not in a relationship.

" Or, on the flip side-- 2 secretive friends get engaged, change their respective statuses, and after that BOOM! Every individual they understand on Facebook desires an invite to the wedding.

Both of these scenarios (and lots of in between) beg the concern: just how do you alter your relationship status on Facebook while keeping your news feed followers in the dark?

 

How Do I Change My Relationship Status On Facebook

I get that this is a very twenty-first century only-for-people-who-are-online-a-lot problem, and possibly a silly one at that. Why, when you're thinking of a modification to your long-term relationship, would your mind roam to your Facebook relationship status? I cannot tell you, I feel in one's bones that for many individuals it does, and the creepy-crawly, upside-down-stomach feeling that supports those thoughts isn't the finest thing ever.

Last year my friend ended a relationship, and I observed that she effectively kept the ending of this relationship from ending up being Facebook's news-- a couple of "friends" didn't even realize her previous relationship had actually been over for nearly a year when she began dating her now-boyfriend.

So she's certainly a little bit of a digital genius, and I recently had her take a seat and reveal me ways to make this occur:

• Go to your profile.


• Click "Edit Profile".


• Select "Buddies and Household" from the menu left wing.


• Click the arrow next to "Relationship Status".


• Modification this to "Only me".

ow your relationship status will be visible ONLY to you-- not even your (maybe) partner can see it. It merely vanishes! It's a pretty simple repair (presuming Facebook does not alter the way you do it in a week), and pain-free at that. Win-win.
